Damian Mooney's rich vein of form continued on Sunday at the Beaverstown Pro-Am.
The Ballyliffin man and Richard Kilpatrick (Banbridge) fired course record rounds of six-under-par 66 to share first prize at the Co Dublin venue.
Mooney has now topped the leaderboard in three of his last four events – Killeen, Naas and now Beaverstown. He played like a man in form on Sunday - making the most of some excellent scoring conditions to reach the turn in four-under-par 32 with birdies at the second, fifth, seventh and eighth.
He stalled a bit after the turn but further birdies at the 15th and 18th saw him home in two-under 34.
Kilpatrick went through nine holes in three-under 33 courtesy of two birdies, an eagle at the par-five fifth and a dropped shot at the eighth. Three more birdies followed on the back nine at the 11th, 13th and 15th as he came home in three-under 33.
Six players shared third place, two shots behind the winners – Graeme Dunlea, Philip Walton, Brendan McGovern, N O'Briain, Jimmy Bolger and Colm Moriarty.
Moriarty walked away with the team prize, guiding his amateur partners to success with 97 points.
